OK. Here's the premise: Janitor in a lady's store. He talks to the mannequins at night. Apparently they talk back. These discussions, of course, take place in storage room (probably upstairs) after...

That sounds familiar but I can't confirm what cable channel ran it. Another one that ran on HBO in the early 1980s had a plucked dinner chicken coming to life and prowling around a house (I think it...

This probably isn't it--but your description reminded me slightly of Mike Jittlov's early short SWING SHIFT. A night watchman is surprised when dummies come to life in a department store. Made in '72...

I personally have been looking for that short myself for years. I have also scoured youtube looking for it as well. The look on the mannequin janitors face always weirded me out as a kid and i would...

After much searching myself,that USA network short was called "Living Dolls"! Now i just need to track it down and watch it again.

Thanks! It's not listed on IMDB. But I've just put feelers out on it. I'll do some work. And considering this is the Classic Horror Film Board, surely someone here knows something about it.
